It's easy to feel alone when you're an Army wife. Finding someone to discuss your husband's deployments or your concerns about life on base is essential for your own sanity and survival. Luckily, there are more and more options for Army wives looking for a shoulder to lean on.


Step 1
Reach out to other wives in your husband's unit. Your Family Readiness Group (FRG) is a place where families in your unit can get together and share information about the unit and give moral support. To get in touch with your FRG, either have your husband get you the information at work or check online for Web sites.
Step 2
Read your local newspaper's calendar of events. If you live near or on a military base, local support groups may list their events in the paper. If so, attend an event and see if the group is for you.
Step 3
Ask around. Talk with your friends, clergy member or employee at your local grocery store. They may know of an Army wives support group in the area and be able to point you in the right direction.
Step 4
Get involved by volunteering in your area. A lot of volunteer organizations near Army bases focus their projects on soldiers and Army families. You could meet people who share your military lifestyle and who you connect with, while helping other Army families at the same time.
